Chapter 2: Pre-Installation Planning
Guidelines for Routing Cables
Rigid Conduits
Properly supporting and routing the cables helps avoid electromagnetic interference and wire damage.
Rigid conduits up to 1 inch (25.4mm) can be used for connection to the EDGE 2 Controllers. Rigid con-
duits of up to 2 inches (50.8mm) can be used for connection to the EDGE 3-Slot Expansion Box and to
the EDGE 6-Slot Expansion Box.
NOTICE
The heat sink on the back of the EDGE controller protrudes out the back of the
enclosure. This requires all connections to be at least 2 inches away from the wall in
order to connect into the enclosure.
AP/Cumberland recommends two installation possibilities:
• Use a 6 inch by 6 inch electrical trough installed at least 12 inches below the enclosure to pass the
connections through before connecting to the EDGE
• Offset the rigid conduits at least 2 inches from the wall with metal fixings
